Whether we were created that way or it came as a result of the fall, God clearly likes to refer to us as sheep. It's all over the Bible. Sheep are sometimes described as eating or resting, but more often they wander off, become weary and discontented, or are eaten by wolves. Baaahhhh!

Update from Pastor Virgil – January 2026
We are so grateful to have friends, old and new, who believe in us and the work God has given us. Thank you for your prayers and support. Hopefully, you can see that together, we really are making a difference.
2026: Live in the Light
As Christians, we should be active, engaged citizens. Know what you believe and why, then speak up. But never think politics can address the core issue. The issues is always the attempt of the enemy stop the spread of the Gospel and discouraging or deceive the saints. Politicians reflect the nature of the people who elect and tolerate them. Until the people change, the government won’t. The answer lies in changing people. So what do we do?
Vive más bendecido
Mi trabajo es enseñar a las personas cómo seguir al Señor, lo que incluye manejar las finanzas. Estoy allí para ayudarlas a disfrutar de los beneficios del plan financiero del Reino de Dios. Cuando lo hacen, todas las necesidades se satisfacen, las suyas y las de la iglesia.
Es una cuestión del corazón
No importa cómo lo llames o cómo lo dividas, el tema principal de las ofrendas bíblicas es la generosidad. Veo en la Palabra que Dios quiere que sea próspero, pero más que eso, quiere que sea generoso.
Dressed for Church
The Bible employs the beautiful metaphor of the Church as the Bride of Christ. This is no coincidence. It reveals the intimacy and permanence of our relationship with our glorious Savior. How precious must the Church be to Him that He would use such an image when talking about us!
Y’all Come!
As we gather with the saints this week, let us take a moment to reflect on the importance of this occasion. Jesus came to Earth as a physical manifestation of God's love. God loved us so much that he gave us his son. And He didn't stop there!
The Hope of His Calling
We are the Church: a gathering of people who have been called out. Although the calling is individual, when we receive it we become part of the assembly. I pray that for you today that you will know what you are called from and what you are called to. That calling is the source of hope, both for now and for eternity.
¡Podemos diezmar!
Desde un punto de vista puramente personal, quiero que el diezmo sea para mí. Quiero que sea cierto porque me promete beneficios que superan mi comprensión. Quiero que sea cierto porque contiene la promesa de bendición para el creyente, y a través del creyente para la Iglesia, y a través de la Iglesia para el mundo. ¡Por favor, Dios, déjame diezmar!
God’s Gift Wrapping
The church is a great big collection of gifts. Each one is unique. Each has its own wrapping. You have to deal with the package to get the gift. It will be worth it.
